» What is RTMP?
RTMP stands for Real-Time Messaging Protocol, which is a protocol used for streaming audio, video, and data over the internet. It was developed by Adobe Systems for the purpose of streaming audio and video between a Flash player and a server. RTMP is a proprietary protocol that enables low-latency communication between a client and server, making it an ideal choice for live streaming. With RTMP, audio and video data are streamed in real-time from a media player to a server, which then distributes the content to other viewers. It is commonly used for live streaming of events, online gaming, and other interactive applications.

» What is SRT?
SRT stands for Secure Reliable Transport, which is an open-source streaming protocol designed for transmitting high-quality video content over unreliable networks, such as the internet. It is a low-latency protocol that offers encryption and error correction to ensure that video content is delivered securely and with minimal interruption. SRT was developed by Haivision in collaboration with Wowza Media Systems, as a response to the limitations of traditional streaming protocols such as RTMP and RTP. SRT is designed to overcome the challenges of transmitting video over networks that may be affected by packet loss, jitter, and other issues that can degrade the quality of the stream. One of the key features of SRT is its ability to dynamically adjust the bitrate and video quality based on the network conditions. This means that it can adapt to changes in network bandwidth and ensure that the stream remains stable and uninterrupted. SRT is gaining popularity among broadcasters and streaming service providers due to its ability to deliver high-quality video content reliably over the internet, even in challenging network conditions.

The code typically consists element that includes the source URL for the video player, along with any additional configuration settings. To get the embed code for a video player, you will typically need to access the sharing or embedding options provided by the video hosting service or platform where the video is hosted.

» What is nDVR?
NDVR stands for Network Digital Video Recording, which is a technology that allows live video streams to be recorded and stored on a server or network storage device for later playback. With NDVR, viewers can pause, rewind, and fast-forward through recorded video content, similar to a digital video recorder (DVR) used for television. NDVR is typically used in video streaming applications such as live events, sports broadcasts, and online video platforms to allow viewers to watch recorded content at their convenience. The technology works by continuously recording the live video stream and storing it in a buffer. When a viewer wants to access the recorded content, the video player retrieves the recorded content from the buffer and begins playback from the desired point in the video. One of the main advantages of NDVR is that it allows viewers to catch up on missed content or re-watch important moments, even if they were not able to watch the live stream in real-time. NDVR can also be used to create highlight reels or clip compilations from live events, which can be shared on social media or used for promotional purposes. NDVR is often implemented using cloud-based video storage and processing services, which can offer scalability and flexibility in terms of storage capacity and processing power.
